Just don't anybody tell me wife...

Packed up another submission. It seems like I've got an overabundance of raw coins that are decent grading candidates. Too many for my own good, I think. I thought, well, I'm expecting my tax refund next week and my ill-conceived (to my mind, anyway. I'm not an economist, but common sense tells me this is a bad idea) rebate check in May, so I can go ahead and releive myself of a few more of these raw coins and convert them into graded ones. My wife will probably not be happy, but since she neglected to make a necessary witholding adjustment that cost $600 of MY refund (we usually file separately, but she would've been a grand in the hole, so we filed joint this year to lessen the damage), I don't think she will complain TOO loudly.

Actually, I'm married to an incredible woman that supports me, right or wrong, in everything that I do, and while she might roll her eyes a little, she won't complain, and will be lavishing praise all over my coins when they come back from NGC. What more can a man ask for, really, except maybe a wife with a strongbox full of Seated Liberty Dollars and Double Eagles left to her by her great-grandparents. But what are the odds of that happening? I'm grateful for her beyond words, even without the strongbox.

Happy Collecting everyone...
